Constitution Day

Penn State York celebrated Constitution Day with a trivia event on Sept. 18, and while the group was small, those who attended had an opportunity to test their knowledge of U.S. history and have some fun. Valerie Carrington, a Penn State York student majoring in English, was the winner of a bucket of patriotic prize items, and a Starbucks gift card.

Penn State York will celebrate Constitution Day on Monday, Sept. 18, with the fourth annual "WE ARE the People" trivia event at noon in the community room of the Joe and Rosie Ruhl Student Community Center.
